Re: [ANN] Sia - Decentralized Storage - Working Beta - Launches June 7th, 2015
I just don't see the logic of going to GPU then ultimately Asics? We do not need another high energy consuming coin in the world. There is tons of GPU and asic shit coins out there. Why not have a solid CPU based platform coin. Then everyone can participate simply and efficiently.
Guess ill go pack up my dell servers I had all ready to go.
I am not going to mine more GPU coins, especially in the F**k'ing heat of summer not a very good idea to say the least

Since we are a PoW coin, ASICs are ultimately inevitable. Not pursuing GPU mining would be naive at best and dangerous at worst, because someone could develop their own GPU miner in secret and use it to attack the network.
We would like to stress that mining is not the focus of Sia. It is a secondary aspect that serves to enable our decentralized storage contracts. If you believe in the vision of Sia, you should be buying hard drives, not GPUs.
GPU mining has been mentioned several times already. It was not a secret. I guess no everyone reads everything.
Sorry to miners who don't like the launch so far. Sia is no bitcoin. They could wait another 2 months to make better smoother launch. They can also wait 4 years to make even better launch.
This is new raw disruptive currency that needs to be out in wild right now and get it stable fast possible. To make it the worldwide storage it wants to be. Nobody care to make you happy miner.
Sia try to be working storage business. We need help community in beginning. We all needed to get this going.

Thanks for your kind words. I am a bit of a perfectionist and I hate releasing early or advertising features that don't exist. That's why Sia has been relatively under-the-radar for the last year. What we have now is a solid base to iterate on. There's still a long way to go before Sia is "complete" (feature-wise), but at this point our currency is stable enough that we felt comfortable releasing it.
